3 Internationalisation and Human Resource Development (the First SUIJI Seminar, 24/07/2011) Global problems: World food security Energy crisis Environment degradation Higher Education on Sustainable Agriculture in the Tropics

4 Research Areas on SUIJI Agenda (the First SUIJI Seminar, 24/07/2011) 1. Forestry 2. Environment control 3. Functional foods 4. Fisheries and marine sciences 5. Hydrology and micrometeorology 6. Soil sciences and nano technology

5 Forestry Primary successsion and rehabilitation (in posteruption mountain in the tropics), rehabilitation of tropical forestland, agroforestry, etc with multi-disciplinary approach; Environment Control Speaking Plant Approach, monitoring plant physiological status, plant diagnosis, plant factory, concurrent engineering, intelligent greenhouse system, energy-efficient control, etc.

6 Functional Foods Phytochemicals in vegetables and fruits, bioactive substances, antioxidants from tropical spices and herbs, food for specified health use, functional ingredients, etc. Fisheries and Marine Sciences Biodiversity, sustainable aquaculture, finfish & shrimp culture, vaccine for infectious fish diseases, microbes, probiotics to prevent diseases, improvement larva culture,etc.

7 Hydrology and Micrometeorology Sustainable forest management, optimum forest coverage and watershed, hydrological based estimation, global standard solution for forest management, etc. Soil Sciences and Nano Technology Synthesis, modification, characterization of nano-particles in soil environment, nanocomposite materials, computational modeling chemistry, application of nano-technology, etc.

8 Forestry Environment Control Functional Foods SUIJI Model: Fisheries and marine sciences Hydrology and micrometeorology Soil sciences and nano technology Ecosystems oriented Single species Sort cut business Short term project National boundaries Biobased economy Long-term joint research Internationally recognized SUIJI JDP and SUIJI SLP

9 Lesson Learnt from Implementation of Servant Leadership in Bogor Agricultural University Management 2007: Five Years Strategic Plan ( ) proposed servant leadership as the approach in university management : The management serves professors and academic staffs, supporting staffs, and students not being served by others; Establishment of university values and principles of IPB first, resource sharing, unity in one system in the university management have been very effective to increase university performance.

13 SUIJI Achievement (1) Consortium: SUIJI Promotion Office/Coordinator Funding from JSPS through Reinventing Japan Funding from JASSO for student mobility Regular Operating Council Meeting and Seminar

14 SUIJI Achievement (2) Student Mobility From Indonesia to Japan From Japan to Indonesia SLP JDP

15 Smoothing SUIJI Agenda (1) Academic calendar: IPB goes to field (flexibility in scheduling) In addition to MEXT funding for SLP, JDP: support from Dikti (I), local government (J/I), private sector (J/I) Relevance of program: mainstreaming agriculture (IPB strategic plan) Evaluation of six research fields : short term research stay, joint supervision.

16 Smoothing SUIJI Agenda (2) Matching research plan both sides Matching length of stay with recognation in academic program Expanding participant from all faculties in each member university Blending financing from various sources for sustainability of funding SLP JDP

17 Expanding SUIJI Agenda Smoothing SUIJI agenda is urgently needed before expanding membership; Increasing SUIJI Promotion Office/Coordinator meeting (once a year to twice a year, back to back with SLP); Starting JDP for doctoral course and initiating discussion to prepare DDP for doctoral course in 2014 Welcoming associate member in next meeting in Hasanuddin University, 2014.
